Chapter 40: Chapter 40

Ranveer's POV

"What are you doing?" I shouted as I saw her with a tape and our photos joined and the broken pieces of photo frame gathered together.

I looked at her foot.

"You are bleeding," I shouted and ran towards her.

What is she doing ?

"Naina, you are bleeding,” I told her as I tried to pick her up but she pushed me.

"Ranveer look, I have mended your love,” she said showing me our photos.

What is she saying ?

"And give me some more time I will mend your heart. I am sorry Ranveer. I love you. Just give me some more time."

Then I remembered what I said to her.

“You have broken my heart into pieces like the broken pieces of the photo frame.”

“You threw my love, feelings, emotions and trampled on it because you never wanted it and it's lying on the ground just like our photo."

I saw her foot bleeding.

I picked her up from the ground.

"Ranveer, what are you doing? I have to fix the photo frame. I have to fix your heart. Put me down. I have to fix your heart,” I ignored her and placed her on the bed.

"Stay still,” I said but she tried to stand up.

"Ranveer I have to fix your heart. I have to fix the photo frame,” she said.

"Are you crazy? Can't you take care of yourself? Look how your foot is bleeding,” I said as I placed her leg on my lap and pressed her leg to check if there was any glasses pierced in her foot but luckily I found none.

"Ranveer please I have to go. Please. I need to fix it. I need to,” she was on the verge of tears.

"Naina, you are bleeding so don’t put your feet on the ground. You want to fix that photo frame, right?" I asked.

I know she lied to me, I know she planned everything with her boyfriend but now also I can't see her hurt.

Maybe everyone will laugh at me and called me stupid or foolish but I can't see her hurt.

And why she is hell bent on fixing the photo and photo frame?

Did my word affect her so much?

That means she still loves me ?

No Ranveer, everything is fake and planned but now I have to leave everything behind and concentrate on her foot which is bleeding.

"You want to fix the photo frame, right?" I asked again and she nodded in a yes.

"I will fix the photo frame and then you will let me bandage your foot. Okay?" I asked and she nodded in a yes.

I went and gathered the pieces of the glasses which were bigger and taped it with the frame. It was not fully perfect but still it was okay. I cleaned all the remaining small pieces of glasses and threw it in the dustbin and took the photo frame towards her.

"Look I fixed the photo frame,” I said as I put our picture inside the frame.

I caressed our picture.

We were looking so happy.

"Thank you. Thank you so much,” she mumbled as I gave the photo frame to her.

She kissed the photo frame.

She is really confusing me.

"So now I will clean your wound and bandage it. Okay?" I asked and she nodded in a yes and I bought the first aid box and sat beside her.

I cleaned her wounds and applied antibiotic cream and wrapped it with sterile bandage.

"It will take few days to heal,” I said.

"Thank you."

Why is she acting like me and our relation means a lot to her?

Now I know the truth then why is she faking it ?

For the past few days I don’t know whether she is having her meals or not.

I didn't had my meals from the day I got to know the truth.

I had totally forgot to eat.

Today she had bought lunch and I threw it. For the first time I threw food.

I don’t like wasting food but she is making me do things that I never do.

I don’t know why but I think she also didn't have her lunch.

I went in the kitchen and with a plate of  rice and matar paneer in my hand I went in our room.

Our room.

Really everything was a lie ?

I went and placed the meal on the table and was leaving the room.

"Please, have dinner with me,” her voice stopped me and I turned around, looked at her and then went to the kitchen and made another plate for myself and took it in our room and sat on the chair.

We both ate silently without any words between each other.

After having our dinner I changed into black shirt and pant.

I came out of the bathroom and saw that she was trying to walk.

"Aah,” she screamed as she placed her wounded feet on the ground.

I ran towards her

"I will manage,” she said as I tried to hold her and slowly walked towards the wardrobe.

She took out her night suit and went to the washroom.

After some time she slowly came and sat on the bed.

Every time I look at her it reminds me of how she betrayed me and I don’t want to talk with her as conversations with her reminds of all the beautiful but fake conversations we shared.

Each and every conversation was a lie.

"Thank you for today,” she said as she lied on the bed.

I decided to go and sleep in the hall.

"Don’t leave, please,” she pleaded as I was leaving.

I turned around and our eyes met.

No, I don’t want to be with her.

I looked at her and I realized she was pleading me with her eyes.

I went and laid beside her but turned to the other side.

After some time, I looked around to see that she had already fallen asleep,

And she was hugging the photo frame.

Naina's POV

Next day I woke up and the first thing I noticed was that the photo frame was on the nightstand.

I saw that Ranveer was sitting on a chair in front of me and was doing something on his mobile.

I woke up and as I put my leg on the floor I winced from pain.

Slowly I took a towel and my clothes from the wardrobe and went to washroom.

After almost twenty minutes I came from the bathroom to see that he was still in the room.

As soon I sat on the bed he took the first aid box and sat in front of me.

He removed the bandage he wrapped yesterday, cleaned the wound and wrapped another bandage.

He kept the first aid box and took his bag.

"Thank you,” I said as he was leaving the room.

"Lock the door,” he said and left.

Everything has changed.

Finally when I was happy, everything changed.

We stopped having breakfast.

He stopped bringing me flowers.

He stopped sleeping in the bedroom.

But one thing that didn't change was,

His care for me.

Yesterday I saw it, maybe he hates me but he cares for me.

I looked at my leg and then looked at the photo frame and that made me realize he still cares for me.

Today when he will be back from office I will tell him everything about our plan, about Sameer and then ask for his apology.

I know he will be angry, hurt, devastated but I have to tell him.

I went and locked the door and started reading a book.

Today I was feeling somewhat fresh because I will tell everything to Ranveer, beg him to forgive me and ask him to forget everything and then we will start a new life where there will be no more lies.

It will be our beautiful world.

Our small world.

Naina's POV

As soon as he came home he sat on the sofa and loosened his tie.

I am missing his smile when he gives me flower.

I am missing giving him a head massage.

I am missing everything.

He went in the bedroom and I followed him and then he took a towel and went to the washroom.

He came out of the washroom and put on a brown shirt and black pant.

"Ranveer.,” I stood in front of him as he was leaving the washroom.

I know that if I will not stop him he will leave the room.

"Please let me go, Naina,” he said but I didn't budge from my place.

"Ranveer, please I want to talk with you,” I said.

"But I don’t want to talk with you."

"Ranveer please, just listen to me once, I am sorry. I am wrong but today I will tell you everything,” I said and for the first time he looked at me and I could see the surprise in his eye.

"No,” he shouted and I flinched.

"I don’t want to listen to anything about how you planned to fool me with your boyfriend. How you played with my emotions,” he said and pushed me hardly and angrily left the room.

"Aah,” I screamed as I caressed my forehead and saw blood on my hand. I looked to find that he pushed me and my face hit the sword which was hanging on the wall.

"What happened?" I heard his voice and saw him running towards me.

"No,” he shouted as he looked at me.

"I am not like him." he mumbled.
